The GALILEE program (short for "Group Alternative Live-In Legal Education":http://law.nd.edu/academics/clinics-and-experiential-learning/immersion-courses/galilee/), gives Notre Dame law students an opportunity to learn about public interest and public service law through student-designed urban immersion programs over the winter break. Any Notre Dame law student (J.D. or L.L.M.) may participate. The program began in 1981 when six students and one professor participated in the first GALILEE immersion in Chicago. Now, over 100 Notre Dame law students, in numerous cities across the country, participate in three days of activities including meeting with legal and social service professionals, visiting battered women’s shelters, touring prisons, riding with police officers, observing court sessions, and performing service projects.
GALILEE participants stay together in their chosen city in order to enhance their experience by allowing group reflection.
